My today's personal goal was to catch up to some [KoF] shippers. I did not succeed, but I've been tracking their movement ... They seem to be trading through Texas and Bering. This calls for some operation in the upcoming days.

However I did 'bump' into a few other ships on my way to Texas, as I wanted to take the short and dangerous way through Virginia and surprise whoever was in Texas at the time. I had to destroy a non-coipliant Camara full of Engine components, a Mammoth paid his bills for being a commercial sneak. That was at the California-Magellan gate, which I couldn't avoid jumping through.

Finally in Texas. I didn't reach the high orbit I planned to enter for scanning the area and hacking the lane to Bering as I planned. The lane got disrupted and an unfriendly BH bomber came up - S/D-Athena's.Memory - which happened to have 4 Junkers in its hold. I wanted to bring them back to Beaumont as I often deal with the Junkers and am on very friendly terms with them.

Unfortunately, the pilot refused. I mean ... bad for him.

Shortly a friend of his showed up - S/D-Feral - and didn't disengage when requested. Heh, I did give him the chance to save himself. He didn't take it and died under my guns. During that time, an obviously insane IMG - IDentIFFied pilot went in all guns blazing and shouting "kill the hacker". Well, I told him why I think he's a jerk. He ran while I was paying my attention to the S/D.
This is a matter for the Lane Hacker Assassins and whoever else would want to rid us of this pest. Details here.

Then I was jumped by a Navy volunteer (indie) in a Guardian. He fought well, but his ship exploded in the end. At that precise moment, =LSF=Christian.Deus jumped in. It took me some time to find his weak spot and he tried to run as he had a hull breach, but then his flight control system broke down and he collided with a Lane Ring part ... and disappeared from my sensors with a small fireball.

Just as I wanted to get finally out of there, 3 fighters and a Mercenary Blood Dragon Gunboat arrived. I couldn't take that on, because I was getting really hungry. I made a run for it and reached Buffalo in a matter of minutes. They lost me in the North Dallas Debris field when my jammer electrically charged some large debris pieces.

But the Junkers are safe.
